Praise to the border officials of New Mexico for keeping out those illegal Mexicans from entering their territory. YAY! (Please detect my sarcasm here). The border officials on the line of Mexico and New Mexico have been receiving congratulations for having a lower border arrest rate. Although, the article doesn't have a statistic on the actual rates, my guess is that it must be a small change.
What the border is doing here is that they arrest those Mexicans who don't belong, and kick them back to their homes. But people are being persistent with this, saying that they will try again, and if they get kicked out, they will go home and just try again later.
This relates to Celia, because she didn't have these chances. When she was caught at the border, they were going to toss a chip in her brain and turn her into a beast. It was really a lucky chance that El Patron had found her. If the border crossing was like it is now, it would be a lot different. They wouldn't fear as much about it. They would be able to conjure up the courage to cross the border knowing that if they fail, they will be back home in a few months. And then they could try again. They are able to have these chances without being turned into machines in a human body. But Celia didn't have this chance, if El Patron were to have been a minute late, things would be different. He may not have found her, and the next time he sees her she will be working in his fields. But the border is not like that today. Today, when you cross it, you get kicked out. And this happens again. And again. And again.
